In the past couple of weeks when I switch on my PC, I sometimes get the
message "you have made changes to your hardware you must reactivate windows".

The problem is I have made no changes to my hardware,and it is annoying to
keep re-activating.
Can anyone help.
 
Reboot your computer into "Safe Mode".
While in Safe Mode, rename the wpa.dbl and wpa.bak files located in the
\Windows\system32 folder.

This will force activation on the following boot,
but should remove the message that you are already activated message.
Sometimes if these files get corrupted, they can cause this type of problem.
